very strict diet. The film also stars Flight of the

THE DOOR KEPT SHUT (2015) A journalist and her crew
interview the delusional Steven Ware. She weaves through Steven’s
shattered mind as he relives his traumatizing experience in what
was supposed to be an ordinary father-son backpacking trip, and
Steven’s tale quickly unravels into something much more sinister.
WRITTEN BY QUINCY O’NEAL (2015) A talentless author
submerges himself within a deranged literary world. He has an unnatural tendency for being in the right place at the right time when
an author dies. An opportunist, he profits from the authors’ deaths
by stealing their unfinished works and passing them off as his own.
He soon begins to question his choices while trying to find a sense
of balance between his thievery and conscience.
Between the films, director Brendan Sweeney, writer/producer
Zack Eritz, and the cast of both films will answer questions and
share stories of their experiences.
